Monetize your life

They walk towards you blindly, often stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, completely oblivious to the other pedestrians. Ear plugs in, they see only a tiny device they hold in their hands, tapping it hesitantly or in rapid sequence. Addicted to a parallel universe, deaf to traffic and bird calls, blind to sunshine and landscape, dumping personal information into the grand data base.

Thanks Deibi! Like I said in an early post, these poems are rhyme and meter driven. Lately they bring to mind the jump-rope rhymes of childhood. “Not last night, but the night before, twenty-four robbers came a-knockin’ at my door…” The beat goes on!
